The Juneau Icefield is an ice field located just north of Juneau, Alaska, continuing north through the border with British Columbia, extending through an area of 3,900 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi) in the Coast Range ranging 140 km (87 mi) north to south and 75 km (47 mi) east to west. The icefield is the source of many glaciers including the Mendenhall Glacier and the Taku Glacier. The icefield is home to over 40 large valley glaciers and 100 smaller ones. The Icefield serves as a tourist attraction with many travellers flown in by helicopter for quick walks on the 240-to-1,400-metre (790 to 4,590 ft) deep ice and the massive, awe-inspiring moist crevasses. The icefield, like many of its glaciers, reached its maximum glaciation point around 1700 and has been in retreat since. In fact, o

rdfs:comment	Le champ de glace Juneau, en anglais Juneau Icefield, est un champ de glace situé au nord de la ville de Juneau, en Alaska. (fr) ジュノー氷原(Juneau Icefield)とは、アメリカ合衆国アラスカ州にある氷原。ジュノー北方にあり、ブリティッシュコロンビア州との境界まで広がっている。北アメリカで5番目に大きい氷原であり、面積は3,900平方キロメートル。海岸山地にあり、南北140km、東西75kmに広がっている。氷原は多くの氷河の源流となっており、やなどがここから流出している。流出している氷河数は主なもので40、小さいものも含めると100にもなる。氷原上にはクレバスが発達しているため、観光としてはヘリコプターが用いられている。氷原の研究は1940年代以降、ジュノー氷原研究計画(Juneau Icefield Research Program)によって詳細に観測が続けられている。この期間中に多くの氷河は数百メートル以上後退したが、タク氷河のみは前進した。 (ja) O campo de gelo de Juneau, é um campo de gelo situado ligeiramente a norte de Juneau, no Alasca e que se estende para norte atravessando a fronteira com a Colúmbia Britânica. É o quinto maior campo de gelo do hemisfério ocidental, com uma superfície total de 3 900 km2 e dimensões aproximdadas de 140 km na direcção norte-sul e 75 km segundo este-oeste; a espessura do gelo varia desde os 240 aos 1 400 metros. Este campo de gelo é a origem de numerosos (cerca de 140) glaciares incluindo o glaciar Mendenhall e o glaciar Taku. (pt) Das Juneau Icefield ist ein 3800 km² großes Gletschergebiet nördlich von Juneau, der Hauptstadt Alaskas an der Inside Passage. Die Eiskappe erstreckt sich nach Osten über die Boundary Ranges bis in die kanadische Provinz British Columbia und nach Norden bis nach Skagway. Den südlichen Abschluss bildet das , das bei Point Arden in die Stephens Passage mündet. Seit 1948 beobachtet das Juneau Icefield Research Program die Entwicklung der Gletscher des Icefields. Die höchste Erhebung im Juneau Icefield bildet der Grenzgipfel Devils Paw mit 2593 m.

In fact, o (en) Il campo di ghiaccio Juneau è un campo di ghiaccio situato a nord di Juneau, capitale dell'Alaska, che si spinge anche oltre il confine canadese penetrando nella provincia della Columbia Britannica: ricopre un'area di 3.900 km² sulla catena montuosa delle Coast Mountains, estendendosi per 140 km nella direzione nord-sud e per 75 km in quella est-ovest. Il campo di ghiaccio dà origine a una miriade di ghiacciai, tra cui il ghiacciaio Mendenhall e il ghiacciaio Taku. Ospita più di 40 ghiacciai vallivi oltre ad un centinaio di minori dimensioni. (it) Джуно — ледниковое поле, расположенное к северу от Джуно, Аляска, продолжающееся на север через границу с Британской Колумбией и являющееся пятым по величине ледяным покровом в Западном полушарии, простирающимся на площадь в 3900 квадратных километров в районе побережья, в радиусе 140 км с севера на юг и в 75 км с востока на запад. Ледяное поле является источником многих ледников, включая ледник Менденхолл и ледник Таку. На ледовом поле расположено более 40 крупных ледниковых долин и 100 мелких. Ледяное поле служит туристической достопримечательностью со многими путешественниками, летающими на вертолете, для быстрых прогулок по глубокому льду от 240 до 1400 метров. Ледяное поле, как и многие его ледники, достигло своего максимального оледенения около 1700 года и с тех пор отступает.
